“Without the donors, our dream of this facility would not have become reality,” club Executive Director Samantha Ridout said.

The B.C. McCabe Foundation gave a $1.4 million grant to the club to purchase the three lots.

The property included a former television repair shop and the former Whittier Thrift and Loan.

The club raised more than $200,000 for construction costs.

Donations and support also came from Jay and Letty Hernandez, the Albert and Bettie Sacchi Foundation, the Weingart Foundation, the Banco Popular Foundation, Inc., the National Charity League, Whittier, and Mike Henson.
